The outdoor video installation address the space between black and white, between Tel Aviv “The white City” of Bauhaus modern Architecture and the complete surrender to European modernism, to Tel Aviv of the middle east, including Jaffa and the southern neighborhoods.
Here in Inbal, and Suzanne Dellal over the ruins of an old Girls school, at the dance center of Israel, on the seam between Tel Aviv and Jaffa right by Manshia neighborhood which was completely erased, another space is suggested- one which is not erasing its past.
A space that seeks, accepts, and suggests an image of Tel Aviv which is not completely white.
Curators Carmel Kimchi and Tali Navon
